It is not the Mesa AZ one. It has been flying overhead some more today. They are giving rides ($450). It is a Memphis Belle replica.

I was at the Mesa CAF Museum, the only visitor on a weekday and they let me do whatever. Got to go in Francos HE-111 which was airworthy at the time, but has since crashed :°( They had an A-26 too when that B-17 taxied up. They were working on it and let me crawl around inside. It has seats in the bombay and side gunner areas. Very tight fit inside. Right next door is Champlain fighter Museum... ME-109, Spit, etc. and WW1 fighter replicas. Also visited the Pima Air Museum in Tucson on that trip. All great places to visit.
